After two practices of getting dominated, it'll be interesting to see how the New Orleans Saints offense bounces back against the defense today, as the Saints are getting ready to take the field for the first of two practices on Day 2 of training camp at its Metairie headquarters.

Saints Coach Sean Payton and several offensive players said the early challenge from the defense will only make an already potent offense better

Still Payton and his quarterback Drew Brees are a prideful bunch, so you know they'll be ready to show some improvement today.

"You come out here, every day you're challenged to hold onto the football the right way, you're challenged to pick up blitzes, and this game is about applying pressure to the quarterback," Payton said. "How you get it, whether it's a four-man rush or applying pressure, the ability to change his comfort level is critical in terms of forcing turnovers and bad decisions. From that aspect, he's really been good. They've done a good job defensively so far of creating pressure."

Brees said: "They're doing some good things and they're mixing it up quite a bit. They're bringing a lot of pressure and playing with a very aggressive mentality. That's definitely making us better as an offense. We feel like we're going to be able to throw enough at them that hopefully it will make them better as well. This is going to be a competitive camp, I can tell you that right now."
